How to Draw a Carnival

This post will teach you how to draw a carnival. We will pay attention to the shapes of each area and variety of lines created ensuring that the artwork looks convincing.

Time Needed: 30 minutes

1. First Draw The Tickets Sign

   

   Start by writing the word “TICKETS”. Next, create an outline around the written text.

2. Add The Ticket Booth

   

   Now, draw a pair of vertical lines attached to the bottom part of the ticket sign. Form the base of the ticket booth by making a rectangular outline and then add three vertical lines.

3. Form The Tent Roof

   

   First, form the triangular outline of the tent roofs. Next, add diagonal lines to draw the striped pattern of the roofs.

4. Create The Base Of The Tents

   

   Now, attach vertical poles on both sides of the tents. Then, add the rectangular base.

5. Fill The Carnival Booths With Games

   

   For the left carnival booth, let’s add an outline of bottles on a horizontal platform as shown. For the right carnival booth, let’s form dart boards by drawing ring shapes.

6. Draw A Roller Coaster Track

   

   First, draw the wavy outline of the roller coaster track. Then, add the supporting beams by drawing vertical poles.

7. Add A Ferris Wheel

   

   Add a ferris wheel to our carnival by first drawing the outer ring called the wheel. Next, draw a smaller circle in the middle to form the axle of the ferris wheel. Don’t forget to attach the carts to the ferris wheel!

8. Attach The Spokes

   

   Draw the rod-shaped outline of the spokes attached to the wheel and axle of the ferris wheel.

9. Complete The Carnival Drawing

   

   Let’s add some color to our carnival drawing! First, fill the tent roofs of the carnival booths with yellow, blue, orange and red crayons. Next, use a dark brown crayon to fill the poles on the sides of the tent. Now, use an orange crayon to color the base of the carnival booths. Use yellow, green and blue crayons to shade the bottles and a blue crayon for the platform. For the dart board, use yellow, blue and red crayons. Then, fill the interior of the booths with a dark blue crayon. Fill the background of the ticket sign with a white crayon. Use shades of brown to color the top part of the ticket booth. For the bottom part of the ticket booth, use red and white crayons. After that, shade the roller coaster track with a light blue crayon and the supporting beams with a gray crayon. Finally, use a pink crayon to color the roller coaster carts and an orange crayon to fill the rest of the roller coaster.
